My Big FAT Homeschool Links List

Way back in 2008, I took my list of links I had been gathering and put them in ONE post. It became one of my most popular posts. So I figure it deserved a little TLC – some updating and adding to since so many years have passed.

Most of them I used (or still use) for my own homeschooling and others have been passed on to me through homeschool friends, online groups, or co-ops. There are so many to pick from – too much to look at in one sitting… so take your time and bookmark this post.

I will continue to try and keep it updated. If you find a link that you feel has merit, please don’t hesitate to email me. If I do a large update, I will post a notice and link back here to let you know. Otherwise, check back here every now and then and I’m sure you’ll find that I have added one or two more favorites.

If you would like to share a link with me, please email me at longhorn dot bee at gmail dot com (dots are periods, at is the @ symbol, remove all spaces)!

P.S.S. I add to this list when I find good links… but with homeschooling two teens and keeping two tots from destroying the world, you can imagine that it isn’t top on my list. I welcome suggestions and emails (please do not leave suggestions in the comments as I will not publish them there). Just shoot me a line with your great link and I’ll consider it!

Thanks for this great list of tools! Here’s a site that I’ve been exploring and wanted to tell you about – c Bible Study Tools at Christianity.com has a huge library of tools with 29 translations commentaries, concordances, apocrypha, devotionals, lexicons, maps, e-books, and great reading plans. You can also highlight text, save your own notes, use a split screen panel so you can see two translations, a translation and a commentary, etc. I hope you get a chance to explore it!

AllyJo – Yeah, but remember – even though I am posting them all, that doesn’t mean I am some superhuman homeschooler who has had the time to really investigate and enjoy them all! 🙂 I’m still browsing them myself. So far there are some real gems!

Isaiah5513 – Well, at least most of my links are up. It may take forever to get the rest of them on there from my past 3 years of posting.

Thanks so much for sharing. You inspired me to start my own blog! I need to learn more about using it, but I plan to read through more of yours and maybe I will get the hang of it. My husband discovered your blog when he was searching out KONOS and we were so grateful to find you. Thank you for putting in so much work–it really inspires me to keep trucking!

Hi! What an amazing list…so many on here that I haven't seen before! Thanks so much for putting this together! I have also found a site called http://www.qwizzysworld.com that was founded by a mom in my area. It isn't subject-specific but rather allows you (or your kids, if they are old enough) to create study materials and practice quizzes from your own material. I taught elementary school before having my children and think it would be a great resource for teachers…and homeschooling parents too! I look forward to checking out some of your links, too!

Love your link list. I wanted to suggest a few links I LOVE. These are free sites to use:

Amazing list, Heather!! Thanks for sharing! I did find though the link for Taffie said page not found. 🙁 We are new to North Texas and looking for co-ops if you might know of another site I’d really appreciate it. 🙂 Thank you again for sharing this amazing list!! I can’t wait to check out more of them! God Bless.

Hey Heather,
Love this list, There are some that are no longer avaiable . But will have to go back through them if u want and send it to you? I am on a FB list called Homeschool for Free, if anyone would like to join. We post sited for other homeschool Mom’s who need free resources. Ive homeschooled now for 27 yrs and I still enjoy Free resources. Thanks Heather!!! And btw I love and enjoy your blog!!!!

Great list, added this to Pintrest board. Two more I love, love, love not on the list are:

http://www.roadsideamerica.com/ A very comprehensive list of off the beaten path attractions, historical monuments, parks, etc. Can do search by zip code for what is in your area. Perfect for field trip day, teaching local history, and getting kids to soak up culture.

There is a sweet home-school story in my daughter’s book:
“A Collection of Seven Children’s Stories”: Sarah Starts Homeschool
Kristin illustrated and wrote the stories when she was 15 and home schooled.
Available at AuthorHouse.com on e-book.

I am a handmade jewelry designer and creator but I also homeschool my 5 year old grandson which takes a lot of my creativity and time. I love this post. My question is, I would love to follow your blog but your ‘bee’ does not appear in your follow link area. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Wow! What a tremendous list of resources! Congratulations on assembling such a comprehensive list.
I thought you might be interested in a website I run called Reading Rewards. It is an online reading log/reading incentive program used by parents, teachers and librarians worldwide. In a nutshell, kids log reading time, and earn points (RR Miles) for minutes read. Parents, teacher and/or librarians can then add custom rewards that kids can ‘purchase’ with their points. By connecting to friends, kids also get valuable book recommendations and can read and exchange about books they are reading. It is a completely free and safe program aimed at encouraging reading. I hope you’ll check it out!
Thanks again 🙂
